Welcome to Portland

A special welcome awaits the American Baptist family in Portland as the churches of the American Baptist Churches of the Central Pacific Coast roll out the red carpet for our 2017 Biennial Mission Summit.

Plan to join the fun in Portland at the Oregon Convention Center, June 30 – July 2, 2017, as our diverse family gathers again for faith-stretching worship, mission conversations, preaching, and fellowship.

In Portland, it’s easy to find limitless recreation, fabulous dining and flourishing culture. You’ll find a great variety of retailers, restaurants and the legendary Powell’s City of Books. An award-winning airport, efficient light rail system and pedestrian-friendly city blocks in the central city make getting around town a breeze. See for yourself, and come early or stay late to enjoy all that Portland has to offer.
